The removal of rubber residue from hardened cementitious surfaces is a common maintenance concern. These dark blemishes, often resulting from vehicular activity, detract from the aesthetic appeal of driveways, garages, and other concrete structures. Effective removal strategies are essential for preserving the appearance and structural integrity of these surfaces.
Addressing these marks contributes to property value retention and enhances safety. Accumulated rubber deposits can, in some instances, reduce traction, posing a potential hazard. Historically, various mechanical and chemical methods have been employed, each with varying degrees of effectiveness and potential impact on the concrete itself.
